  1. Hello lovely internet people, So like everyone else I want peoples opinion not only whether I am good enough, but also some advice on schools. Schools Applying To: SIPA -MIA Human Rights and Gender and Policy, NYU -Global Gender Studies- although I heard they have very little funding, possible Georgetown SFS, Yale- but they seem to have litter courses on gender and security but give funding- Princeton - same issue as Yale - not many women/gender/women and conflict courses. Very stuck on which universities beyond Columbia to apply to. Interests: I would like to continue working for the UN in gender and international security, particularly Women, Peace and Security Undergrad Institution: Oxbridge ( Social Anthropology) Undergraduate GPA: 2.1 (I think 3.4) but my transcript is quite patchy with missing courses due to sickness Years since Undergrad: 18 months Undergraduate Major: Social Anthropology GRE: TBC - Will be low - I have no quants background so probably 50s for quants and maybe 60 for Verbal Quantitative Courses: None Whatsoever Age: 23 Languages: English, French (slightly rusty), Intermediate Spoken Arabic Work Experience: Coming up to 18 Months as a Project Assistant with a UN Office in the Middle East 3 Month Internship in a Women's Charity in Africa 2 Month Internship at the British Civil Service LORs: Confirmed - My work Supervisor, a Gender Specialist at the UN in the Middle East - will be strong. A Professor from Oxbridge - will be ok. Unconfirmed - Either a Phd supervisor at Oxbridge or another work - not sure which is best. SOPs: Will focus on my specific interest in studying in Women and Security, my current job and what I want to do in the future. Concerns: I have no quant skills whatsoever - am keen to learn so would do economics course online before starting the course. I will have not great GRE, and not amazing GPA. Also money is a big concern - am after a university with good funding opportunities, that is internationally recognized beyond the US, with good professors and courses on gender and women and conflict, and not too many requirements for Economics. (HKS MPP seems to be out of the question). Looking for advise on where I should apply to with these interests, and with this background. Columbia MIA seems to be my top choice. Is it worth applying to NYU if they don't have funding? Is it worth applying to HKS. Any advise on any parts of my profile welcome!!
